Sims 3 will not update through origin.

★ Novice

So I have the Sims 3, and the expansion packs supernatural and pets. For a different reason, I uninstalled the Sims 3 base game and the expansions, and have recently installed the Sims 3 base game again. It won't let me reinstall the expansion packs because it says I need to update my game. So i try to update my game, and it will download, but it says i still need to update my game even after i have tried to install it. I have tried updating through the internet and the sims 3 game, to no avail. What do I do?

Use the super patch if you have issues with that.

I'm having pretty much the exact same problem. I've already tried the manual patch since that was honestly the only solution I could find. But, when I opened it in the Admin account, it gave me a message saying "Couldn't detect any installed version of Sims 3" which is weird, because I just bought and installed The Sims 3. I have Windows 8 (64 bits) and I did search to see if it was compatible. It said it worked for lots of people with windows 8. I tried repairing the game too, but that didn't work either. Can anyone suggest anything I can do?!

Pictures show proof.
